Where's the optimistic button when you need it?
1. If there's no evidence to suggest it, why are an increasing number of people calling you out on it? never heard the term where there's smoke, there's fire?
Its your opinion and perhaps the opinion of a few others on here. You're welcome to it, but I thoroughly disagree with it.
2. Captain Jackson is perfectly capable of intelligent debate. He has just lost patience with you because you keep ignoring compelling arguments which challenge your positions, cherry pick your own arguments and are frequently passive aggressive. At least Captain Jackson's brand of overt aggression is honest. I don't know why you're singling him out anyway. there are more diplomatic posters like Hacky calling you out on it and clearly apolitical posters like Assassin calling you out on it. Once again, where there's smoke, there is fire.
Have to agree to disagree with you on this one. Captain Jackson is a low brow, poor mans version of Hacky. But that isn't saying a lot because Dr Google isn't much more impressive himself. The personal attacks on me speak volumes.
I welcome disagreement of opinion and good debate. I don't welcome being attacked for having a different view point that challenges some people on here.
You certainly jump to some odd conclusions. All that means is they are challenging the traditional western family structure where small nuclear families are tasked with looking out for and protecting their own without much community support. They are not talking about dismantling typical family structures or taking young people away from their family units, they are talking about extending support networks by creating a village type atmosphere where community members have each others backs. How exactly is extending support networks going to make things worse?
Agree to disagree with you. My personal belief is that BLM are making some unwelcome changes to society. I'd be far more open to them as a movement if they genuinely concentrated on police violence or black on black crime (for example).
I don't think anyone in their right minds would defend the actions of the shooter, or of those who turned up outside the hospital..... behaviours like that is obviously deranged, dangerous and indefensible. The only issue people have is with some people trying to extend condemnation beyond those involved to frame the narrative that BLM is responsible for their actions. It's absurd to think BLM is stirring up this anger....these tensions have been bubbling below the surface of American society for a very long time.
I think BLM has created an environment where many people believe violence against public property and police (and anyone who disagrees publicly with BLM) is ok
(for example attempting night after night to destroy a federal courthouse)
OR destroying public monuments is Ok (you can take your pick from tens of monuments either totally destroyed, defaced or stolen across America and England and Australia alone
OR attacking cops being Ok (you can take your pick from anyone one of hundreds of incidents of attacks on police including murders of police within the last 3-4 months) - this includes (ironically enough) black police.
Or looting of shop fronts which btw disproportionately affects black and coloured shop owners.
